If you are involved in a claim or dispute, our expert disputes lawyers will help you explore alternative resolution options to avoid costly and time consuming court action. If this is not possible, we will be by your side throughout the case, advising you on strategy and the process if you decide to pursue the matter in court.
There are a number of alternatives available before you reach a decision to go to court. Either negotiating directly with the opposing party, conciliation and mediation using a neutral third party, or expert determination, adjudication, arbitration and ombudsman schemes – where the decision is imposed by a neutral third party.
